SUMMARY:Intimate Apparel: Behind the Scenes
DESCRIPTION:Go behind the scenes of a new chamber opera based on Lynn Nottage’s popular play Intimate Apparel\, with music by Ricky Ian Gordon and a libretto by the playwright\, and directed by Bartlett Sher. Set in turn-of-the-century New York\, the opera tells the story of Esther\, a lonely\, single African-American woman who makes her living sewing beautiful corsets and ladies’ undergarments. Seeking love and romance\, Esther embarks on a letter-writing relationship with a mysterious suitor laboring on the Panama Canal\, and realizes that only her self-reliance and certainty of her own worth will see her through life’s challenges. Dramaturg and Director of the Opera Commissioning Program at The Metropolitan Opera Paul Cremo moderates a discussion with Gordon\, Nottage\, and Sher and cast members perform highlights\, ahead of the opera’s opening performance on February 27. \nIntimate Apparel is the first opera produced by Lincoln Center Theater and was developed by LCT and the Metropolitan Opera as part of the Met/LCT New Works Program\, which is dedicated to developing new opera and music theater works.

SUMMARY:Ellen West @ Prototype
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by one of the earliest cases of existential analysis\, Ellen West is a remarkable new opera that explores the emotional\, psychological\, and physical challenges of a woman struggling with perceptions of her body\, her relationship with food\, and the world closing in around her. Poet Frank Bidart and composer Ricky Ian Gordon examine the lives of psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger and his patient\, “Ellen West.” Bidart’s poem\, which serves as the primary source for the opera’s libretto\, juxtaposes the clinical observations of Binswanger with fictitious entries of Ellen’s journals\, which shine light on her deeply personal struggles. \nCo-produced by Beth Morrison Projects and Opera Saratoga \nCommissioned by Beth Morrison Projects and Opera Saratoga with generous leadership support from The Poetry Foundation\, The Ted & Mary Jo Shen Charitable Gift Fund\, David and Kiki Gindler\, and The Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts. \nThe world-premiere production of Ellen West is a co-production of Beth Morrison Projects and Opera Saratoga.

SUMMARY:Ellen West @ Prototype
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by one of the earliest cases of existential analysis\, Ellen West is a remarkable new opera that explores the emotional\, psychological\, and physical challenges of a woman struggling with perceptions of her body\, her relationship with food\, and the world closing in around her. Poet Frank Bidart and composer Ricky Ian Gordon examine the lives of psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger and his patient\, “Ellen West.” Bidart’s poem\, which serves as the primary source for the opera’s libretto\, juxtaposes the clinical observations of Binswanger with fictitious entries of Ellen’s journals\, which shine light on her deeply personal struggles. \nCo-produced by Beth Morrison Projects and Opera Saratoga \nCommissioned by Beth Morrison Projects and Opera Saratoga with generous leadership support from The Poetry Foundation\, The Ted & Mary Jo Shen Charitable Gift Fund\, David and Kiki Gindler\, and The Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts. \nThe world-premiere production of Ellen West is a co-production of Beth Morrison Projects and Opera Saratoga.
